NUaS ING ARMY , V f IT 1 1 f " ' Wl
Commiltee ca Nursing, of
the Council of National
Defense, Says Opportuni
ties Are Many at Home
and Abroad.
What can a registered trained nurse
do lor hor country today?
Thousands ot nurses aro asking this
question. Thousands ot young women
who Instinctively turn to nursing as
an opportunity (or national service
are also asking it.
The things u trained nurse can do,
according to tho Commttteo on Nurs
ing ot the Council ot National De
fense, aro so many, so varied and Im
portant, that nursing stanilu out pre
eminently as tho profession in which
in adequately trained woman can And
an outlet tor hor patriotic impulses.
The Brat picturo that flashes Into
tho mind is that of tho war nurse on
the other sldo. Tho chairman of the
Red Cross War Council states that
. 20,000 nursos will in all probability be
needed to caro for tho elck and wound
ed of tho American army in Franco.
Under ofllcient medical care and nurs
ing over SO per cent of theso aro re
turned to active duty. Those do not
..lncludo thoso who wllli.bo called upon
to help nurse tho soldiers of our allies
jas well as their stricken clvlllana.
Our allies are sorely in need of public
health nurses, trained In social sorv
lce In this country.
'. RogardtesB, however, of this call
from "over there," America needs an
rmy of public health nurses to safe
guard ita own noncombatants and to
Id In tho disease prevention work in
our training camps. Tuberculosis, for
Instance, ia a foe which will sap tho
strength of the army and undormlno
civilian life If It is not controlled.
Tho tuberculosis nurse has the double
duty of helping to caro for tha men
rejected from the national army on
account of consumption and of holp
lug to detect the disease In its incip
lency among the families she visits.
Tho welfaro of children 1b tre
mendously important. The public
school nurse, a growing necessity be
fore the war, is now lndlspensiblo If
we aro to II vo up to our responsibili
ties as a nation at war faced with tho
necessity of conserving our every re
source. The welfaro of tna babies
depends on enlightened mothers.
Upon the pre-natal work ot, the visit
ing nurse depends largely tho en
lightenment ot tho mothers. '
Doring the Civil "War 48 per cent, of
tho Union troops camo from country
districts. The proportion will prob
ably not bo so high during this wnr,
but men from the country are locking
into the army and will continue to bo
called. Rural public health nureos
are therefore finding work in their
home Held today, just as they are find
ing work In. the army cantonments to
tfilDSINfi STAFF'OFl
ONE OP OUIl DAS E .HOSPITALS
which the Rod Cross has called them.
In the sanitary zones about the can
tonments they aro engaged in pre
ventive work of tho first importance
to tho nation. Emergencies, such aa
tho frequent epidemic of pnoumonla,
call for heroic work by those nurses.
Nor must we neglect to mention the
openings in the teaching Held among
our 8,000 hospitals and 1,500 schools
of nursing, which have many attrac
tive openings in their faculties tor
well educated nursos.
Tho demands aro bo many and tha
needs so pressing that the Commit
too on Nursing of tho Council of Na
tional Detonso urges young women
graduates of colloges and high schools
to enter hospital training schools and
study for tho nursing profession as a
patriotic duty. It reminds thom, how
ovor, that no short term courses or
corrospondonca school methods will
admit thom to tho Red Cross ranks
as registered nurses. Tho only way
to via tho recognized hospital schools
of nursing, whero tho course of study
and practical work covers from two to
throe years. At Its offlco in Washing
ton, D. C. tho coramittoo will bo gladi
to answer any mall inquiries on thla
opportunity for jjajriptiq sorvica.

Just n week before Christmas, and in
every tent,
Each private is busted or badly bent;
And sadly we think of twelve months
ago,
Tho Christmas we spent when we
had lots of donjrh,
The things thut wo did and the
thinrs that we had,
When quartered at home with moth
er and dad;
Of tho dinner we ate at that last
Xiiiaa day,
With no borrowing thought of being
without pay.
There were girls and joy rides, par
ties and dances,
Only last Christmas we all were free
lances;
Free from all trouble in our minds
not a care
But none of that stuff for us any
more; Wo gave it all up when we went to
the war.
We have given up riding around In
machines,
And taken up walking when we
Joined the marines;
We have given up eating real food
from a plate,
We have given up steeping and get
ting up late;
Wo have given up calling our girls
on the phone,
Whenever we meet one sho leaves us
alone;
nut what's the use of telling it all,
We're a bunch of marines who have
answered the call;
So gather around the oil heater once
mo io
And Ring high the praises of the old
Marino Corps.
